Abstract: An adaptive antenna array (14) includes a multiplicity of antenna elements (12a-12k, 48a-48k) responsive to uplink communications (16a-16k) and arranged to support directional-orientated downlink communication to subscriber units (18). The adaptive antenna array (14) is operationally responsive to a signal processor (28) that co-operates with direction of arrival estimation logic (36) to assess an angle of arrival of uplink communications incident to the array. To avoid inter-cell interference, especially during early stages of a call, the signal processor operates to ensure that a wide area downlink beam (108) is provided for a downlink path to an addressed subscriber unit. With time and/or with reported (68,84) downlink quality of service (QoS) metrics, the signal processor (28) regulates (74, 92, 96) a width of the downlink beam by altering the number of antenna elements used to support the downlink beam, thereby altering the downlink beam aperture. Generally, with time, more antenna elements (92) are used and so the beam is narrowed, although in-call fluctuations in downlink quality of service are dynamically addressed.

Title: Selective removal of nitrogen from natural gas by pressure swing adsorption
Inventor: DOLAN WILLIAM B
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 2001-10-25
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption process for the separation of nitrogen from natural gas utilizes two separate pressure swing adsorption stages, the first containing a hydrocarbon-selective adsorbent and the second containing a nitrogen-selective adsorbent. In the process, the product stream from the first pressure swing adsorption unit contains a natural gas stream having a reduced hydrocarbon content and the product stream from the second pressure swing adsorption unit is a natural gas stream having a reduced nitrogen concentration. The product from the second pressure swing adsorption unit is used to desorb the hydrocarbons from the first pressure swing adsorption unit so as to add the hydrocarbons, which have heat value to the product natural gas stream. Periodically, heating the nitrogen-selective adsorbent with heated product stream from the second pressure swing adsorption unit has been found to improve the capacity of the nitrogen-selective adsorbent to adsorb nitrogen.

Abstract: A blade holding device for selectively and adjustably maintaining a contact pressure onto a neighboring roller; such as the ones used in machines of the pulp and paper industry, and other like industries. The blade holding device includes a base, a hinge, a support plate, a blade, and biasing means. The hinge has first and second components, the first component being mounted onto the base, and the second component being pivotally moveable with respect to the first component. The support plate is preferably mounted onto the second component of the hinge, and is thus pivotally moveable with respect to the base. The blade is preferably removably mountable onto a front portion of the support plate and is operable between a contact position where the blade rests against the roller for maintaining the contact pressure; and a retracted position where the blade is drawn away from said roller from removing the contact pressure. The biasing means are used for operatively connecting between the base and the support plate for biasing the support plate and corresponding blade into the contact position. The blade of the blade holding device may thus follow the roller continuously throughout a greater change in diameter and with little or no maintenance.
